Its really difficult nowadays finding a company you could say you´re proud of supporting it, in all certainty, without a single shard of doubt. Thank you Vlad and Soma team, Im totally proud of being your customer.
I second that!
I totally agree. But its not that hard. There are many great. None the less, I soma labs are true pioneers!
Absolutely brilliant “behind the scenes” . SOMA we love you ❤️
Best company for support. I had a loose Pipe knob, tried to fix it and I messed up the thread. I email SOMA for help. Required new knob and grub nut, plus needed to know size of key for fitting. In the post I received 2 X knob, 2 X grub nut, and key tool for fitting. Amazing support. Loving these machines, thank you.

Как круто у вас в мастерской, сразу видно профессионалов!)
I connect with the Soma philosophy of creating emotionally resonant instruments. I feel connected to the sound when playing them. It is great to see the care and attention and processes behind making them. I have a lyra-8 and pulsar-23 and know they will continue to give me years of joy playing them. Thank you Soma.
очень круто, респект вашей команде!
Most exciting company out there! Beautiful Instruments for new and expressive soul expression. Thank you… hope to dive in soon
Здравствуйте! Хочу сказать огромное спасибо всему коллективу, вы создаёте волшебство! Ваш труд очень важен для многих людей!
Soma is amazing! I had no idea the level of craftsmanship that goes into each product. But after using a pipe/lyra/ pulsar I am not surprised at all. I can not say enough good things, the world is a better place with Soma.
Having a Lyra on the way. These kinds of videos make me want to buy everything soma makes. Pulsar was very high on my list anyway. Would love to see this way of thinking with more companies!
Incredible
I just found out about Soma but I am already in love. The vision and the EQ are amazing! Love from France 🇫🇷💕
You’re totally amazing as creative and human, wish you a long and fruitful career you deserve it deeply, love from Belgium
Thank you, everyone at Soma, for the heartfelt work you have put into making these beautiful instruments.
Thank you Vlad and everyone at Soma Laboratory, you make beautiful instruments.
Really appreciate getting to see the faces of the people behind the instruments and hearing insights on the build process!
Gorgeous documentary.
Exceptional designs that go far beyond what is generally considered a synthesizer/electronic instrument in today's mass produced market.
You need a philosophy which is more than just making money to produce machines of this quality.
teenage engineering should definitely read your comment and just reflect a little.
@@Hell_Inc Thanks for the laugh. My OP-1 is waiting for a new keyboard after 18 months of quite moderate use... Concerning my Lyra-8. I think I can drive my car over it and it still would work ;)
@@martingoldmannmusic those SOMA labs' things could probably withstand a nuclear cataclysm.
I'm sorry to hear about your OP-1, man. Hopefully it won't be very expensive.
@@Hell_Inc somewhat around 230€ :( - and I am waiting five weeks now to get it back. However: the Lyra helps me waiting ;)
@@martingoldmannmusic damn that's very expensive for a handful of keys.
but I bet that Lyra will keep you busy enough :)
I love Soma products and the philosophy behind them. Own a Pulsar, Lyra and Ether already and will eventually get all of them at some point. Can't wait for Vlad's next creations!
I love my Lyra 8 and will buy the Enner as soon as it becomes available more locally. Amazing company with an ethos which is hard to find these days. Thankyou for all the beautifully thought out and built instruments Vlad and Soma Labs! Unrivalled in my opinion. ❤ ❤
Thank you for your beautiful work and amazing Instruments .
I like how the industrial sounds in the background are actually just sounds made by the pulsar and not manufacturing noise
Love your vision, Vlad!
This is wonderful insight into the company, I never knew there were so many people contributing at SOMA. It is clear that Vlad is a visionary and belongs on the same plane as Don Buchla for humanity and Dave Smith for practicality. This man and his team are truly keeping the spirit of synthesis alive and well.
I'm glad that there are more electronic instruments made with the souls of Russians!
Just got the pulsar and was blown away! Having watched this video I now know why these instruments are so incredible! It’s so refreshing to see the passion that you all put into production! So inspiring!!!
What a team! Love the Pulsar and will continue supporting Soma.
Очень порадовало увидеть аудио-технику которая сделана в России (или Польше).
I just received my Pulsar 23 and Lyra 8 and after 40 years of playing electronic music, I feel like a child again, discovering and playing with open ears and open eyes. Thanks for these amazing devices and for the care you have put into creating them.
A special company, unique instruments!
What a lovely look into your process. Thank you. I know how much I love my Lyra and totally agree with the emotional part of it being important.
To prevent "financial loss" they've basically indemified themselves with by stating that any sound issues are basically "by design" and will not be considered defects. Period. "By using the Soma PULSAR•23 patch book, you agree to following conditions: All patches were created independently by PULSAR•23 owners and SOMA cannot guarantee that you will get the exact same sound(s) as described or as heard in the audio samples. Please keep in mind that PULSAR•23 is a fully analog device with a very complex, organismic design, so even perfectly recreated patches can sound differently than the demo provided by the creator of the patch. If you are not able to recreate a certain patch exactly it does not mean your PULSAR•23 is defective! This patch book is a guide, not a guarantee to achieve certain sounds. Soma will therefore not accept any complaints regarding a different sound of recreated patches, or offer further explanations on how to achieve a patch if a user is not able to. Such cases cannot be used for opening a warranty repair or unit replacement claim with SOMA customer support and/or the place of purchase."
This why Soma…. 🙏🏻
Beautiful. Love my LYRA-8 and glad to see who made it and where it came from and how.
с таким уровнем производства себестоимость будет космической
❤️❤️❤️❤️ from Chicago.
Just ordered my Pulsar-23, can't wait. Thank you!
I’m reminded as to why my Lyra-8 is the central hub of my studio. It’s truly a wonderful machine and always offers inspiration. Thank you Vlad for bringing your ideas to fruition. The world needs more thinkers/artists/designers/creatives like you!!
Just got my lyra8 today and can't wait to get the pulsar!!! Amazing machines!
Last week at a gig my pulsar fell to the floor. I almost cried. But my friend told me “ don’t worry man Russians build war tanks, it will be fine” 😅
And it really was thankfully. Now I understand why.
I always feel Soma instruments are very reasonably priced. But after watching this video I have no idea how Soma can make these great machines by hand and ask a fair price for something that looks like a hand made supercar. Amazing. Just preordered. Seems that prices are going up fast in Europe...
to me the greatest manufacture in the universe. only GOD knows how much i love this people!!!
I've been wanting to buy a pulsar-23 but have been holding off. I noticed this video on my TH-cam feed and thought maybe I shouldn't watch it because it would make me impatient to buy the pulsar-23. I decided to watch it thinking I would be fine. Part way through the video I paused it and put an overnight pulsar-23 on my credit card. It should be arriving tomorrow hopefully 😂
Placing my order after seeing the passion here with this team. I’ve wanted a Lyra for a while. Pulsar someday. Much love from the USA.
Highly enlightening minidoc.
Merci infiniment pour vôtre travail très passionnée et la dédication collective envers une synthèse organismique!
Amazing documentary. So glad to heard there are still companies caring about the product delivered, but also so unique on their product designs. I wonder if someone would like to start building synths, what type of studies or knowledge, would you recommend them doing? Big thanks and congrats for your amazing work.
My Lyra-8 (in orange of course!) is my escape hatch. It takes me to a new place every time I play it. It's beautifully designed, lovingly built, beautiful to look at, and so special. Thank you Vlad-- and everyone at SOMA for the amazing work.
Now I understand why the Pulsar 23 is quite costly to buy - the design and construction are works of art in themselves! I lovevmy Lyra 8, and I'm currently saving up to buy a Pulsar 23.
Interesting that some Soviet era production techniques are used, since my recollection of products from that time are that they had severe quality control issues. That was clearly a result of the "production norms" that workers were forced to achieve, where quantity was essentially the only metric. Friends who lived through that time said it was advisable to buy something with a production date stamp from early in each month, since quality dropped as the end of each month approached and workers cut corners to meet targets!
I wish we could order custom colors direct from Soma for a small additional fee. Love you, SOMA.
Their lab is full of equipment but I saw no fume extractor. I feel bad for those assembly workers.
I'm one of those pesky Australian owners of a Pulsar and Lyra, can confirm zero defects. Very cool doco
You make us proud knackers 👍
After seen this I'm surprised you can keep the Pulsar retail price around 2000€, great work and philosophy, thank you
After watching this, I can't complain about the price of the Pulsar anymore. It should cost twice as much for all the work they put in. It explains why that machine sounds so great though. You really do get what you pay for and handmade quality is always better than mass production.
Great to see a product not made in China.
1.07 wendy carlos, the woman who basically popularised synthesisers! a legend! also i have to say i have a formanta maestro in my studio which i love, so it is not surprising i also love the pulsar because it is from the era that you folks like to be inspired by
Amazing and beautiful machines!
If you listen to my music you might consider listening to my ideas ....Let us explore the unknown !
Great insight and 100% support from me Vlad - hehe, even if we've chatted over the kick drum's evolving sound, I still love my Pulsar!
The answer to all questions is SOMA. It's the game changer of modern music.
Интересное видео, спасибо! Про соединение через PLS для своего проектика давно уже держу в голове. Но у меня это было больше для втыкания "войс-кард" в беспайку, чтоб наметить общую сборку. Про капитальную сборку на PLS-PBD как-то не думал!
1st I thankyou for bringing us the #lyra8 - then i thankyou for all the other crazies , one day i may end up with too many of your mad items - i love the process and state of mind that i find when using lyra
Thank you for my pink Lyra-8, god bless you all
very cool Video, thank you to show us your company, employees and processes. We should talk about some improvements.
I am so thankful to exist in the same time as SOMA Labs and Vlad Kremer! Every SOMA instrument is so unique and special. Thank you for sharing this with us and unlocking such new sonic spaces. What you all are doing is SO important and will certainly be remembered in history.
Beautiful philosophy that has been lost in so much these days!
Min 15:37 .. a beautiful alien spotted 🤩
not impressed with the moog tour anymore..
еще одно такое подобное видео и я не выдержу - куплю себе пульсарчик
Is there an Oscar for documentaries?
Where the sickest sounds born 🔥
Still best backstage video ever…
awesome! keep on doing what you do :)
This is so fuсking awesome! Thank you!
на такой завод я бы пошёл работать
Now I have a better understanding why my Pulsar 23 is taking it's time materialising. I have respect for this companies integrity. I love the fact that my now converted
Lyra 8 had this much attention to QC.
oh my, that component bending machine :D lol
The Zeiss Jena of sound engineering ? :)
I love my Pulsar and Lyra. Thank you Vlad and Soma. It's alive and I know why now
KUDOS to you guys!
Вауу, очень круто!!
THANKS !! Love you SOMA !
Я владею Lyra8 - не до конца понял еще этот инструмент. Но! Придуман он и сделан гениально. Он просто несравним ни с чем что у меня еще есть из синтезаторов и других музыкальных коробок. Я думаю в будущем инструменты Soma станут такой же классикой как Moog или Buchla
Lyra8 - не возможно до конца понять ;-)
Really great team ! Love you
какие вы молодцы
Beautiful, just beautiful
Blood from a stone soup.
So happy with my Pulsar 23!! Thanks so much for all the fantastic work.
Moral of the story: You aren't fucking with these guys.
Это очень круто!
Beautiful story.
This is beautiful.
You are the best guys
Fascinating stuff
This is why I keep telling my friends that Soma gear is always worth the wait.
Продолжайте в таком же духе! И научите молодое поколение вашему мастерству!
A work of art really.
Спасибо!
Вы очень крутые 💜
cool!
